--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Not seeing an advantage to the pain this would cause.

There are 4 UNO commands in this context--but there are other DF that have not
corresponding ODF appropriate styles defined.

.uno:Bold  --> this is the <Ctrl>+b shortcut (localized and customizable)
.uno:Italic --> this is the <Ctrl>+i shortcut (localized and customizable)

.uno:EmphasisCharStyle 
.uno:StrongEmphasisCharStyle

The first two are resident on the 'Formatting' toolbar and need the
.uno:ResetAttributes assigned to <Ctrl>+M to clear direct formatting with
selection, or toolbar button action to directly toggle.

The second two are resident on the 'Formatting (Styles)' toolbar. Along with
the 
.uno:DefaultCharStyle which allows reset of selection to paragraph's default
styles.

Issues come in the resulting ODF archive (the actual document), direct
formatting as Bold or Italic is recorded directly into the text runs (within
T1, T2, T3... notations) in the content.xml

While when the character style (Strong or Emphasis) is applied, those is
defined as a style (in style.xml)  that is then applied to the text runs
(either as 'Standard' for the paragraph, or integrated with T1, T2, T3...
direct formatting spans).

Not much of an issue with a document prepared purely using styles--but major
issues with import/export filtering to non-ODF formats and horrible fidelity
issues for OOXML interoperability with MS Office users.

So, if *you* need it--customize your Keyboard and Toolbar (Tools -> Customize)
and assign the CharStyle commands as you need.  But IMHO I don't think it would
be helpful to change the action assignments for the shortcuts by default to be
the CharStyle.
